1 clownfish, ocelaris (nemo)
1 blood shrimp
1 skunk shrimp
1 coral banded shrimp
1 sallyfoot crab
1 emerald crab
2 porceland crab( i hevent seen them since i put them )
1 sun startfish
2 olive snails
8 turbo sanails
6 blue hermits crab
1 tree (i think is called hair brush)

evry thing looks fine but i notice that my candy cane are drying up and my clownfish got fin rot wich hopfully got cure with some peroxide that i aplaid yesterdy to it( it looks like it went well with the peroxide, the fish if acting normal )i have a bak pak skimmer
 
I think you should get rid of at least 5 turbo snails, because they do grow big, and they knock down coral alot, so maybe get rid of all except 2, and get like 3-5 nerite snails. You should have 1-2 shrimps and 1 -2 crabs in that aquarium. And it will be fine. I hav a 6 gallon nano cube and only inverts i have is 1 nerite snail, 1 nasarius snail, 1 blue leg hermit crab, scarlet reef hermit crab, and a hawaiian feather duster. This way everything has enough room to eat and roam.
 
If your readings are a constant 0 and your tankmates don't stress each other, then besides the growth of the earlier mentioned snails I'd say your good.
